2 injured in 3-car Pasadena crash

Anne Arundel police list driver error as cause

Authorities said two people were injured in a three-car crash in Pasadena.

Anne Arundel County police and fire departments were called to the area of Route 100 East and Magothy Bridge Road at about 4:09 p.m. Thursday.

Police said a preliminary investigation found that 55-year-old Jeffrey Scott Sullivan, of Pasadena, was in a Toyota Highlander traveling east on Route 100 and approaching the intersection of Magothy Beach Road. Police said Sullivan had a green light and the right of way to proceed.

Robert Frederick Risley, 72, of Crownsville, was driving a Chrysler 300 traveling westbound on Route 100 and was stopped in the left turn lane from Route 100 west onto Magothy Bridge Road South with a red light, when he suddenly turned against the red light and traveled across the lanes of eastbound Route 100, police said.

The Highlander struck the Chrysler in the passenger's side as the Chrysler passed in front of the vehicle. After the impact, both vehicles traveled onto Magothy Beach Road and the Chrysler traveled into the northbound lanes of Magothy Beach Road, where it struck the UPS truck, which was stopped at a red light.
